Uterine Fibroid & Adenomyosis Symptoms, Causes & Treatment | Dr. Ankita Dubey

Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis are common gynecological conditions that affect many women, especially during their childbearing years. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus, often leading to symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and urinary issues. Adenomyosis, on the other hand, occurs when the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscle wall of the uterus, causing pain, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms. In this video, Dr. Ankita Dubey, Consultant Gynecologist at Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Ahmedabad, explains in detail about uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and available treatment options. Key Topics Covered: Causes of Uterine Fibroid and Adenomyosis: Uterine fibroids develop from hormonal changes, particularly high levels of estrogen and progesterone. Risk factors for fibroids include a family history, obesity, and early onset of puberty. Adenomyosis is commonly linked with hormonal imbalances, childbirth, and aging.
